My problem with A&M being so cocky over that game, is the fact they were having the game of their life, while Alabama was extremely Ill prepared. They had a 20-0 lead and let Alabama tie the game by halftime. Score ended up being 29-24. That game may have been an arse whipping in the first quarter, but the rest of the game until the last few drives, he was pretty much quiet.

Alabama beat defending NC Florida by 19 points in the SECCG as a revenge game.

Alabama shut out LSU and completely destroyed them from start to finish defensively. 3 touchdown difference in score.

Alabama beat Auburn 36-0 (wasn't a great auburn team though but still a decent record IIRC) after 6 years in 2008.

None of Alabama's revenge games have been close under Nick Saban. None. (well, there was LSU 2010) In fact, they were pretty much blood baths for the opposing team. You can call me crazy, butthurt, ill-informed, and a raging homer. I don't care. Given what I've heard about TAMU's front 7, I expect AJ to light up that defense this time. He sort of did that last game.

It's a fully rested Bama team in the day time vs. a TAMU team that totally imploded at Kyle Field vs. the others of the Big 3. A&M will score somewhat, but Bama will be the offense that goes nuts in this one.

31-17 is my prediction based on what I've heard, looked up, and contemplated.

Oh frick I forgot we were playing 2008 Alabama. No one knows what will happen. Quit making yourself look stupid. If you have to share your opinion get a twitter or start a journal.

First off, A&M had far more errors and should have run away with it.

Secondly, in no way was Alabama unprepared. A&M wasn't running trick plays. They were running simple plays and beating Alabama athlete for athlete. How could Saban have prepared better for Manziel's scrambling? Surgically replace the lineman's knees with jackrabbits? How a ebout Mike Evans dragging that corner all over the field? Does he forget the Space Jam basketball that steals players powers that was supposed to be in the Aggie locker room? And what about the groundskeeper? Did he forget to place magnets in the ground to mitigate the best lineman jn the country? I thought Joeckel agreed to wear metal cleats just for Nicky.

Another idiotic fallacy I love. Yes Ags scored most of their points in one quarter. Guess what, Bama did too. Eliminate those and A&M still outscored Bama.

"Once Bama adjusted, they stopped A&M". And what did the Aggies do? What was the score of the second half? 9-7 ring a bell?

This is absolutely retarded. A&M left a lot of points on the field in that game and still won. Missed FG, Missed XPA, missed a 4th down conversion by about an inch in the 2nd Quarter.

This was in a season that A&M had no bye weeks that year due to the first game being postponed by Hurricane Isaac. Was at the end of a streak of 5/6 road games with the 1 home game being against LSU.

After the game next to no one, including Finebaum, said it was a fluke. Now that we're 6 months later, the revisionist history starts to roll in looking forward to this year's matchup.
